This was an install that I assisted Rick Surprenant on while employed by Telexec, Inc. in San Antonio, TX.

The main portion of my job was to assist with the cut over to the new Toshiba telephone system. I did not program the initial setup for the system, but I did maintenance on it for several years following the install. The system count was near 225 digital sets and 25 analog phones.

The day of the cut over was colder than normal for central Texas. That along with abnormally high humidity and BAM, we were a bunch of south Texas guys cutting a phone system on a large campus at an airport in a snow storm. Being from south Texas, I am allergic to the cold. So my fun-o-meter was about pegged out. This was not what you people from the north would really call a snow storm. I believe it was by your measure a dusting of snow. But it was enough for an all out snowball fight just before lunch. The boss took a slide in some very cold mud and wiped out. He was a good sport about it and paid for lunch for everyone involved with the cut.
